I have been hacked!

Postby clkbj » Tue Nov 21, 2006 6:54 pm

Can ANYONE help with this?

http://messageboard.clkbj.com (NSFW - Language)

After looking all over the internet I found where this is some hack team out of Turkey, but there is NO fix that I can find out there.

I have reinstalled and everything I can think of. It seems as though it is just a homepage defacement though as I can still get to this:

http://www.clkbj.com/messageboard/viewf ... df60731fe0

I am at a loss but am willing to let ANYONE look at this.

Much thanks in advance,
Chad~

What version of phpBB2 are you using?

Please file a report here http://www.phpbb.com/support/incidents/add_report.php
Now make a backup of your files and database plus if you have access to the server logs then a copy of that. In case asked for by the IIT.

Jim,
Thank you for your response.

I believe I am running phpBB 2.0.17, but I do not have access to my cPanel right now to tell you for sure.

Yeah, they could have done allot worse to me.

Something else I have noticed (On top of the main page defacement that is), is I cannot log in.

I guess the hackers just changed some file (probably index.php )

You can easily replace that file again. But you must update first or will be hacked again

I have replaced that file. It comes right back. I am in the process of finding out what version I am running now....

Thanks,

This was added to overall_header.tpl (I removed their URL)

Code: Select all
<STYLE =text/css>BODY {
SCROLLBAR-FACE-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-HIGHLIGHT-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-SHADOW-COLOR: darkgray; SCROLLBAR-3DLIGHT-COLOR: #eeeeee; SCROLLBAR-ARROW-COLOR: #000000; SCROLLBAR-TRACK-COLOR: gray; SCROLLBAR-DARKSHADOW-COLOR: #000000
}
A:link {
COLOR: darkblue; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:visited {
COLOR: #000088; TEXT-DECORATION: none
}
A:hover {
COLOR: #000000
}
body, td, th {
color: #000000;
}
table, p, td, tr
{
visibility:hidden;
}
body {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url('http://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/image0000029.JPG');
}
</STYLE>


I am guessing that that is in one of your Config or language strings

Have you tried to access your Admin control panel
http://www.clkbj.com/messageboard/admin/index.php

The hacker will have inserted somescript into a description field.
If you get access try the Site description, Forum descriptions, Category descriptions.

If I try to go there, it asks me to log in and it will not take my log on credentials (and I know I am doing it right)

This is not a problem.
Assuming that you have done as I asked in my first post then you can either access the tables with phpmyadmin and remove it from those fields or install the Starfoxtj Admin Toolkit that has a built in scanner to find and remove the code that has been inserted into those fields.

This has happened because you did not keep up to date.

Jim,
You are awesome! That fixed my problem.

Now I need to update before it happens again!

Now, when I try to log in with the admin username: clkbj and my pass it will not log in.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Chad~

P.S. Thanks to everyone else who looked at this too!

You still have all that junk in the forum description, although it does not appear to be executing anymore.

I wonder if you would have any luck resetting your admin user with that toolkit...

Yeah, I have tried to reset my pw via that toolkit. It takes, but I can still not log in.

Once I get logged in, I will be able to remove all that junk form the forum description.

Thanks,
